    Pool hall injuries. Cuts, burns, bites... whatever.

    I've seen someone get their front tooth chipped while trying to catch a CB. The guy lost the CB on the break. Someone else picks it up and gently tosses it towards the breaker. The breaker goes to scoop catch the CB but miss handles it and it caroms off his hand/wrist and into his open mouth...

    AZers and the economic meltdown

    Thanks, Brian. We're a "boutique" shop, so we are right sized and lean. A lot of our operational stuff (like account custody services) is outsourced to a large firm that we are associated with, so we are still in decent shape (although, cash reserves are tight). Eric >oversharing

    AZers and the economic meltdown

    Well Chris, you know what line of work I'm in, lol... In additional to client advisory services, my company maintains a proprietary trading account. Long story, short, the head trader (me) misjudged the depth and breadth of this market decline. It blew through my worst case risk projections...

    Looking for some old "players" names

    You might be right, about Sy being 5'7". Maybe I just remembered him being taller? He was definitely from NJ, at one point. I seem to remember him saying he was from the Trenton area? Eric
